The Fear-Affiliation Relationship: A Sociocultural Revisitation.
Ramirez, Alexander C.; And Others
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v11 n2 p173-88 Jun 1980
The relative saliency of social comparison and anxiety reduction as motives for interpersonal affiliation was examined in nearly 100 Chicano and Anglo adolescents. The experiment's failure to replicate the findings of Darley and Aronson was probably due to lack of functional equivalence across cultural groups. (Author/GC)
